The first car in this brand was released in 1989 and back then, its purpose was to create luxury vehicles for the North American market that would not otherwise fit with Nissan’s mainstream production and became its own separate brand in Australia in 2012. This is the same model Toyota used for the creation and marketing of Lexus, and Honda for Acura. In its first model year, Infiniti released two vehicles, the M30 coupe and convertible and the Q45 sedan. The M30 was powered by the VG30E 162 HP engine and automatic transmission while the Q45 featured a 278 hp V8 engine four wheel steering and an active suspension system. The Q45’s features made it competitive in the full sized luxury car segment against the Cadillac Fleetwood, the BMW 7 series, Mercedes S-Class and the Jaguar XJ.
